  • Tuesday, April 17, 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm – African Violets for Young Growers

    It’s never too early to start learning to grow and love America’s favorite house plant, the African Violet. At this Tower Hill Botanic Garden workshop on Tuesday, April 17, from 1 – 2:30 (school vacation week) you’ll learn some basics about violet care and how to mix your own soil. You’ll pot up a young plant to take home and learn to “put down” a leaf to propagate new plants. Designed for young growers, aged 9-14. Younger children may attend with an adult companion. THBG members $5, non-members $8.  Register at www.towerhillbg.org.
